Hands on ½ day clinic on how to make a farriers straight blade knife with Spud Allison. All work can be completed with the tools and equipment that are in most farriers vans. This day can be held at your own venue or at Spuds forge in Warwickshire. Ideal for a small group who want to learn new skills.
Each stage will be demonstrated and you will take home your own bespoke knife at the end of the day. Stages will consist of:
Blade profiling to your favourite style
Hook and curve to what you prefer
Handle application
Sharpening technique
Polish and finish
